[QUOTE="Chuck, post: 40011, member: 944"] Sounds like leaf lettuce. Normally when you plant lettuce seeds you somehow always end up sowing way too many seeds and when they get about 3 inches tall you start to thin them and use the thinnings. Leaf lettuce doesn't make a head like iceburg or romaine and you can snip off individual leaves as they grow. Another type of lettuce is called Bibb lettuce and it makes a semi-head and you can also use individual leaves of it if you like. All lettuce is a cool crop. As it gets warm it will bolt or go to seed. If you want something similar to leaf lettuce that has a longer growing period try Swiss Chard. Chard is excellent in salads plus you can also prepare it the same as you do spinach. In fact, many people including myself, prefer it over both spinach and lettuce [/QUOTE]
